Publisher's description of Winamp Full 5.03

From Nullsoft:

New features in Winamp 5 include support for classic Winamp 1.x/2.x/2.9x skins and Winamp 3 (Modern) skins; a fancy new Modern skin; the same classic skin for people who want the Winamp 2 feel; a vastly more powerful media library; CD-ripping support (AAC@2x in the Free version, MP3 at unlimited speeds in the Pro version); CD-burning support (limited to 2x in the free version); advanced title-formatting logic for file types that support it; huge AVS updates; support for playback of AAC and VP6 in NSV files/streams; global hot-key support; a new Signal Processing Studio DSP plug-in; options for disabling plug-in exception-handling for developers; a new Winamp icon; and the addition of XP manifest.xml to winamp.exe. The developer made the agent icon use the configured Winamp system tray icon, made the program faster, made Winamp's internal submenu management more reliable, added skin-font-override preferences, and added a spacebar that shows the current playlist item in the playlist editor.

Editor's review of Winamp Full 5.03

4.0 stars

Nullsoft has a lot of ground to make up after the Winamp 3.0 debacle, a dwindling user base, and stiff competition from Apple's iTunes. Winamp 5 is a huge step in the right direction, with support for AAC encoding, CD burning, and a robust file-management system...finally.

New functionality includes a More Info feature that hunts down biographical information and options to buy the CD online. We also loved the Internet TV feature that provides some great music videos or live concert footage. Another eye-catcher is the excellent collection of visualizations. The massive catalog of Winamp 2.x and 3.x skins works with this new version.

One quibble is the lack of an efficient way to manage the player, media-library, and playlist-editor windows at the same time. The free version is feature-rich, but if you want MP3 encoding and full-speed CD burning, you have to shell out $14.95 for the Pro version. Winamp is one of our all-time favorite players, though, and version 5 renews its promise.
